Getting the staples at Staples
Posted in Random on 07/02/2009 03:28 pm by Elizabeth KayleneI only get out of control with shopping if there are two variables involved: Target and Staples. I went into Staples yesterday planning on spending a max of $10. I planned on getting a couple binders and some pens (I keep losing pens). I walked out with a laptop cart, an ergonomic plastic bean filled wrist rest, a pocket size dictionary, a pocket size thesaurus, two binders, a box of pens, a copy holder (so that you can stand paper up when you have to type something up)… You get the picture.
The thing is, I couldn’t not buy the desk, wrist rest, and copy holder because I’ve been saying for months that I need these things. Obviously, they could very well help decrease the amount of pain I experience day to day. So I was totally justified when I broke into my savings account to help cover the cost. This time.
At any rate, I had a lot of fun putting it together.
The box. Before the cat and I destroyed it.
«You and I both know that I have to lay down on anything new that you bring into this house, so I might as well get it over with now.»
All the parts, spread out and ready for me to not ignore the directions.
My dad took video of me putting together some of this because he thought it might end up being really amusing, but I have to get it from him. To be fair, he did help me a little, and if it weren’t for him I would have put it together backward. Heh.
All set up and Twittering in a much more comfortable - and stylish! - manner.
More leg room than a TV tray!
This spring-loaded knob? Adjusts the tilt of the laptop table. Goodbye, wrist cramps!
I’ll add that video whenever Dad gets to uploading it to Facebook.

I love office supply stores too. STAPLES! Woooo! However. I’m a Wal-Mart fan, mostly because I don’t sleep and there’s a 24-hour one (01) down the street. I do most of my shopping in the middle of the night. Ha! (=-

I’ll probably buy a little cart to use while I’m in Iraq. We’re limited on space in the trailers we’ll be living in. Something like that should be perfecto! (=-

Thank you, so do I!

I’m not so into Walmart anymore, because the ones I used to shop at tend to be really disorganized and messy. I’m a total Target junkie; just walking into the store makes me feel all warm and squishy inside.
Yes, I am aware that I need help.

You should see me in the $1-2.50 aisle at Target. I’m like a kid in the McDonald’s playplace.

It’s a lifesaver, so I definitely recommend it!
